Whose Coalition?

Erick Erickson, who blogs at Red State, raises an interesting question. Does the minority vote "belong" to the Democrats or to Barack Obama?

If Hillary distances herself from the toxic Obama legacy in 2016, will he refuse to stir his voters to turn out for her. If she claims his legacy, she can have "his" voters but who else will vote for "four more years?"

It is a dilemma the GOP is happy not to have. However, count on Republicans to tie Hillary to Obama in 2016 in the same way they tied Dem candidates to him in 2014.
